[TR] best 12V price/quality tire inflators or other tire inflators for use off-site

[Joel Justin]

Rye,

I was referring to the Sam's Club links Ted provided, not yours. I agree the inflators you mentioned are outstanding options, just expensive. That's why I offered the Harbor Freight option for occasional use. I've use mine to inflate the 35" tires on my F-250 with similar results to yours.

If you’re referring to the links I provided, they are not slow for portable air compressors.  I fill up four 33” BF Goodrich Mud Terrane tires from 12 lbs to 32 pounds in about 4-5 minutes. Both the Smitty Build and the Viair are the most popular models in the 4 wheel drive club I’m a member of.

It depends on your patience. The inflators you provided links to will do the job, but will take a long time, especially as the pressure requirement increases.

The 4x4 inflator suggested ($220) will handle higher pressures and fill much more quickly. If you plan on using it all the time, you can justify the cost.

However, it this is for occasional use and you're not afraid of Harbor Freight, he's an equivalent high pressure inflator for $75 (less if you have a coupon):

I have 2 TRs that are off-site. I would like your opinions on best price/quality ratio tire inflators to purchase that you've had good luck with.  Thanks in advance, Ted
